No, Jonathan, you needn’t be sur prised at your mounting taxes. Fact is, they have only started mounting.

In the third home fight of the cur rent boxing season, Barnwell Migh v School sludgers piled up a nine to one victory over the Williston-Elko High lads here Thursday night by virtue of four technical knockouts, four decis ions and two draws. The visitors did not win a fight during the evening and Barnwell’s superiority and experience were evident from the first fight on. The Williston lads were game and fought hard all the way. In the opener, Boplware, 80, off Barnwell, won a decision over Bates, 80, of Williston-Elko. The local fighter piled up a considerable margin on points, but the visitor was game and fought back all the way. Terrence, 80, of the visitors, and Brown, 80, of Barnwell, fought to jp draw. The visitor finished stronger than the local lad to earn the draw. In the first TKO of the evening, “Hooky” Carter, 88, of Barnwell, scored over Dixon, 88, of Williston. Dixon was game but he was no match against Carter, who fought with the science of a veteran, picking his open ings carefully and taking quick ad vantage of his opponent’s errors. Hair, 92, of the visitors, lost on a decision to Sanders, 92, of Barnwell, when the local lad outpunched Urn throughout Sanders has improved quite a bit since the first fight of the season and looks to be one of Barn well’s future stars. “One-Round” Vaughn, 106, of the locals, scored hie second first-round TKO of the season over Williams, 102, of the visitors. The Wiliston boy was no match for the local fighter and the towel was tossed in about midway the first frame. Vaughn has fought only twice this year, winning on first round TKO’s both times. Lott, 110, of the visitors looked well in the first round, but Carlton, 108, showed the most experience and punched through to a third-round TKO. Chriton seemed to grow; stronger as the right went on, finishing his opponent with a heavy barrage of leather in the final round. Calhoun, 116, of Barnwell, landed some terrific rights in te oj frame to pile up a comfortable over Pender, 118, of Williston, win on a decision. The last two were nearly even, with Calhoun hav ing a slight edge in the second and Pender a small margin in the third. Blatt, 126, U.ial stylist, again dis played a beautiful left hand and took a well earned decision from Dysou, 128, of the visitors. Dyson showed courage throughout by his attempts to get to Blstt, but the dse dHneae of the local’s left hand was too much. He used it effectively on several oc casions to open Dyson up and follow through with some stiff rights. lowers, 186, of Williston, landed some stiff rights against Still, 186, of Barnwell, but the local boy made him miss too many and kept his none bloody from the first round with a left that earned for him a draw, lowers’ right was dangerous all through the fight, however, and hut for Still’s left the verdict would have probably gone to the visitor. Mocdy, 141, scored the final victory for Barnwell with a third round TKO over Quattlebaum, 141, of the visitors. Moody landed plenty of short power ful jabs that had telling effect on the visiting lad. The early part of An fight, though, went to the Williston boy. The fights were handled by Clar ence Fisher, of Orangeburg, referee, and two members of the local CCC Camp as judges. Morris H. D. Club. The members of the Morris Home Demonstration Club held their regular meeting at the Siloam school house on Wednesday of last week.
